or flat tray. Flaming grease outside
pan can be extinguished with baking soda, or if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or

Before self-cleaning the lower
oven, remove broiler pan, broiler
grid, oven racks and other utensils.
Do not use the oven to clean
miscellaneous parts.
Do not store things children might
want above the oven. Children
could be burned or injured while
climbing on it.

interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flam-
mable materials contact heating
elements or interior surfaces of
oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Other surfaces of the
lower oven may become hot
enough to cause burns; such as,
the oven vent opening, the surface
near the vent opening, the oven
door and window.

Adjusting
the oven temperature
control
Does your oven seem hotter or colder
than your old oven? The temperature of
your old oven may have shifted gradually without you noticing the change.
Your new oven is properly adjusted to
provide accurate temperatures. But
when comparing to your old oven, the
new design may give you different
results.
If after using the oven for a period of
time, you are not satisfied with the temperature settings, they can be adjusted
by following these steps:
1. Pull the Oven Temperature Control
Knob straight off.
OFF
Locking screw
2. Loosen the locking screw. Note the
position of the notches.
3. To lower the temperature,
move
a notch closer to LO. Each notch
equals about 10°F (5°C).
4. To raise the temperature,
move
a notch closer to HI. Each notch
equals about 10°F (5°C).

Before you start
1. Clean the areas shown by hand.
They do not get hot enough during
the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil
to burn away. Use hot water and
detergent or a soapy steel wool
pad on...
l The inside of the door. (The center
area of the door does not need to
be hand cleaned.)
l The frame around the oven.
Do not clean the fiberglass seal.
Do not move it or bend it. Poor
cleaning and poor baking will result.
2. Remove the broiler pan and any
pots and pans you may have
stored in the oven. They can’t stand
the heat.
3. Wipe out any loose soil or
grease.
This will help reduce smoke
dunng Ihe Self-Cleaning cycle.
4. If the oven has a rotisserie,
make sure the motor socket cover
is closed.
5. If you want the oven racks to
remain shiny, remove from the
oven and clean by hand. Otherwise, put oven racks on second and
fourth guides (guides are counted
from bottom to top). After racks are
cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle,
they become harder to slide. See
page 19.
Turn on a vent hood or other kitchen
vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
This will help remove heat and odors
that are normal during the cycle.

How it works
During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the
oven gets much hotter than it does for
baking or broiling...approximately
875°F (468°C). This heat breaks up
grease and soil and burns rt off.

Electrical Shock and
Personal Injury Hazard
Make sure oven and light bulb
are cool and power to the oven
has been turned OFF before
replacing the light bulb. Failure
to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.
The bulb cover must be in place
when using the oven. The cover
protects the bulb from breaking,
and from high oven temperatures. Broken glass could cause
injury.
To replace the oven light:
1. Turn the power off at the main power
supply.
2. Remove the bulb cover in the back of
the oven by pulling out and pushing
the wire holder to the side.
3. Remove the light bulb from its
socket. Replace the bulb with a
40-watt appliance bulb.
4. Replace the bulb cover and snap the
wire holder in place. Turn the power
back on at the main power supply.
NOTE: The oven light will not work
during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
If YouNeedServiceOrAssistance..
.
Wesuggestyoufollowthese
fivesteps:
1. Before
calling
for assistance...
Performance problems often result from
little things you can find and fix without
tools of any kind.
If nothing operates:
Is the power supply cord plugged into
a live circuit with the proper voltage?
(See Installation Instructions.)
l Have you checked your home’s main
fuses or circuit breaker box?
l
If the lower oven will not operate:
Is the Oven Selector turned to
a setting (BAKE or BROIL, but not
TIMED BAKE)?
l Is the Oven Temperature
Control
turned to a temperature setting?
l
If the Self-Cleaning
cycle will
not operate:
l Are the Oven Selector and Oven
Temperature Control set on CLEAN?
l Does the clock show the right time
of day?
l Is Stop Time set ahead to the time
you want the Self-Cleaning cycle
to stop?
l Is the Lock Lever all the way to
the right?
If cooking results aren’t what
you expected:
* Is the oven level?
l Does the oven temperature
seem too
low or too high? See page 7.
l If needed, have you preheated
the
oven as the recipe calls for?
l Are you following a tested recipe from
a reliable source?
l Are you using pans recommended
in
the Cooking Guide?
. If baking, have you allowed 1% to
2 inches (4-5 cm) on all sides of the
pans for air circulation?
l Are the pans the size called for in the
recipe?
l Do the cooking utensils have smooth,
flat bottoms and fit the surface elements being used?
